DALLAS — Summer may have officially started in the hockey world with the conclusion of the 2018 draft in Dallas, but school is far from out. Now that we have a clear picture of how each of the league’s 31 teams conducted themselves at the annual spectacle, it’s time to hand out grades.

I’ll be looking specifically at the Canucks’ draft, the players they took and whether they secured the maximum possible value over the weekend. If you want a team-by-team set of grades, though, check this out from The Athletic colleague Corey Pronman.

Overall, it was a good weekend for the Canucks. They added three defensive prospects to a pool that was in desperate need of support at that position and found some intriguing gambles elsewhere. They’re a deeper, better organization today than they were Thursday.

With that, let’s go pick-by-pick and look at how each of the Canucks’ selections stack up.
